In my English class we have to make a presentation on a famous Poem/Poet.
I chose William Wordsworth and I've been looking through his poems and I thought his famous poem was called ' I wandered lonely as a cloud' but my English teacher said it was called 'Daffodils'.
Both poems are the same despite the title.
William Wordsworth- Is his famous Poem called 'Daffodils' or 'I wandered lonely as a cloud'?
In France, in the years sixty - this was called " the daffodils"
Reply:It is "I wandered lonely as a cloud".
We had it for lessons
Reply:it was called Daffodils
Reply:It is known as 'I wandered as lonely as a cloud'.
Reply:It is called Daffodils, But it is always easier to remember the first line, so is better known as I wandered lonely as a cloud.
Reply:Originally it was "The Daffodils" but now it is more commonly known as "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud (The Daffodils)" .
Reply:"Daffodils" (1804)
I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).
